Know this stretch of the Gulf Freeway?

Know this stretch of the Gulf Freeway? If you were living here in 1963, you might.

I’ll admit, I don’t know where exactly this is, though I believe this is out past where the Loop is today. No specific location was written on the back of the photo, just the month and year the photo was taken, March 1963. Time keeps me from going through a month’s worth of Houston Post issues to find the photo, assuming it was published then.

What we do know is that the Gulf Freeway was undergoing some widening work at the time. Seems two lanes going one way were not going to be enough as more folks moved out to Friendswood and Clear Lake.
